Let's play a game, everyone. Who can guess, without searching SD, what product this guy is talking about?

Vibrating butt plug?

Wouldn't recommend a Wifi 5 (AC) system for a 900 down internet plan. You might get around 600 down right next to the router under ideal conditions.

I only use it for streaming and browsing so it would suffice for my needs, plus I don't know of any deal on routers with wifi 6 or 6E around $200. Would be glad to hear if know of any deals.

I wish they would release one without wifi that I can just use as the attic/networking closet router. Currently I gotta leave one in my closet and that's a huge waste for my fully wired backhaul

Previous gen before these only 1 had Ethernet and the others would work off each other and just serve wifi. I would suspect these to be the same.

Do you have any experience with this Deco and if it can truly reach 1Gbps+?

If you mean from your ISP to any other device on your network simple answer is NO cause its limited with the 1Gbps ports no multi gig ports.

If you mean from a LAN perspective yes it can but that would only be transferring stuff within network over wireless 6 or 6E to each other, so not something very many people do.

Nope. I just wasn't aware of your actual router needs. Thought they'd be greater given that you're paying for a 900 down internet plan.

Does it have built in speakers? I currently have Google Nest with multiple WiFi points, those WiFi points acts as chrome speaker, which is very convenient to broadcast voice to different rooms, also to control the WiFi switches with voice command from anywhere in the house.

Can anyone tell me why this wouldn't have a 2.5gb WAN port at this point? Why are they advertising speeds Up To 5.4 Gbps when the Wan is only 1 gpbs? 5.4 GBPS is if you're moving something from one computer to another on the network but not what you could get for internet?

Thanks. I was paying $50/mth for 300mbps and Xfinity called me as I was coming to the end of my promotion period and offered me 900mbps for $60/mth, so just went with it as it seemed reasonable even though really don't need it to be that fast. Problem is the the 1.2TB cap Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

. I need to find a service with unlimited bandwidth at a good price.

Also, I'd be interested in know what exactly people do that they need top of the line routers and ultra fast speeds. Only thing I can think of is may be gaming.

Any word on whether this can split SSID for 2.4ghz and 5ghz?

No. You can't on Google's other products. This is a mesh network by design.

Unfortunately that arrangement isn't possible. Google WiFi requires a physical arrangement of

uplink - primary Google WiFi - other Google WiFi

You must have the other Google WiFi devices plugged into the primary.

You can add a switch between your primary nest router and another Nest router/node

I cannot personally speak for this version, BUT I have lost all confidence in google when It comes to Wifi.
I own both the first and 2nd gen of google wifi. First gen was great honestly. 2nd gen was atrocious [https://www.googlenestcommunity.c.../Nest-Wifi [googlenestcommunity.com], just browse the forum and see how many complaints there are about gen 2], and I personally had issues of the gen 2 wifi points CONSTANTLY dropping. And even when they werent dropping, during speed test I did not get great results when compared to similar products of mesh nets (so I ended up with the eeros).

To top it off, Google Wifi gen 1s and 2s had no advanced features. While this isnt a deal breaker, if youre a power user looking for extra features, the generally dont come with google products.

I will say, I did like the fact that google wifi gen 2 wifi points doubled as google homes, sadly that feature isnt added in the gen 3s. Also, Gen 2s were compatible with the Gen 1s. Gen 3s offer no compatibility.

All this to say, this Google Wifi gen 3 might be great, but the last version of Google wifi was bad on all fronts in my opinion, dont expect much more from Google, at least in terms of wifi. i'd love to be proven wrong though.

This is very true. I also hate the super-simplified yet inconsistent google home app. There are no advanced features or settings that you could go into in a typical router. this was pretty much a simple plug-and-play style. And, because it's simple plug-n-play, it was a living hell trying to add another mesh (purchased extra one later) to the existing network. The only reason why I kept it was because as long as the internet connection was solid, this system has really seamless coverage for the whole house.
1st and 2nd gen only had 1 wired ethernet connection port. I wish each mesh had at least 2.
Does anyon know if the new versions come with more than 1 wired ethernet port?

Any thoughts on this?

That's correct, however it still doesn't get my primary Google WiFi router out of the networking closet. You cannot do

Modem - switch - primary gwifi - computer
Modem - switch - gwifi - computer

You must do

Modem - primary gwifi - switch - gwifi - computer
Modem - primary gwifi - switch - computer

What's wrong with it being in the closet?

You can set the routers to be set as gateways and run an external computer running OPNsense to run as router. I do this and will NEVER go back!!!

What about the additional electrical costs of running a computer 24/7 plus the administrative overhead?
